I dont want the bus driver stoned or drunk while on the job..what they do in the privacy of their home is up to them,same goes for the bedroom, the govt stays the heck out

No the gov doesn't stay out! It is illegal. There are people sitting in prisons for having small quanities of pot in thier homes. Especially, people that live in the south! Yet, there are drunks that have killed others on the raod that are free.

The freedom to discriminate is essential to personal Liberty. Life in a free country is about being free to make choices based on your own criteria rather then one mandate by the government...Libertarian blogger

Franco, your chance of winning this argument is about the same as the government winning the war on weed!

Everyone who knows, knows there is no rationale for it on any level but you will never see an office older with the nads to make the stand publicly.

JS

There are a number of politicians that have been outspoken on the War On Drugs and its failure.

Colorado will be a major force on Tuesday to bring some sanity to the issue. Then, there is the medical use for relief in pain which big pharma has been spending millions on to prevent the medical use. Much better to keep folks on pain meds with all the side affects than an organic compound that does the same job.

Again, this is just a side issue to the bigger issues that ail this country. Issues like the ecomony, Monetary and Foreign Policy which Romney and Obama just represent more of the same old failed policies!

The Democrats have failed us.
The Republicans have failed us.

If 5% of the American voters vote Libertarian, then Libertarian candidates can no longer be ignored in Presidential debates. There would be other ideas and other candidates outside of the two dysfunction parties in local, state and Federal government.

No more two party monopoly!

And, if Romney loses on Tuesday, the Repub Party is done, finished, kaput! That's because the Repub brand is damaged beyond repair. Today's new Conservatives have given the party a bad reputation and the great majority of young voters and women want nothing to do with this new Conservatism. If Romney wins, the Repubs can hold on hold on for a few more years. If he loses, the party is over and the nation's third oldest party, the Libertarian Party, will be the new viable party with fresh ideas and a fresh platform better suited for the here and now!

BTW, Presidential candidate Libertarian Gary Johnson has run 75 Triathalons and climbed Mt Everest over the past 5 years! Not to shabby of an x-hippie!

What poor behavior? That he like pot over whiskey? I'd say that is a smart young man that is a victim of a bad law!

In addition to liking it, he was selling it. What part of the 'bad law" did he break? Being a user which he is or being a dealer which he is? I guess it's OK by you to determine which laws are good and which ones are bad. And I guess if I disagree with you, I'm the one that is wrong.

Oh, by the way. Why should we listen to or appreciate the opinions of anyone that can't figure figure out how to use spell check?

Got you facts wrong once again, he was not selling it!

might want to check the date on your article...that random survey is over 20 years old, and it was done using oncologists.....lets see one using pain management doctors, and hopefully done within the last couple of years
